SMALL, BUT EXCITING.

Destruction by Fire or an UnoccupaeS
Residence In the Suburba-A burn
ing Chimney On Third street.
Very few fire alarms have beer re-
sponded to with 80 much alacrlty on the
part of the firemen end citizens Of
Yankton as the one which was runs
upon the track house bell at about $50
last night. Everybody heard the alarm
with much trepidation, knowing full
well what the result Of q blaze would be
in the heart of the city impelled BY the
bowling wind, and it was with relief
that the burning building Yves located
on the edge OF the city, and oil by itself
on the snow covered prairie. The burned
building was On Cedar street, on the
northern bluff, and was owned by Mrs.
NJ. q. Hall, who is now living elsewhere.
The building was vacant and SO far as
can be learned was not insured, A
healthy tramp has been making the
house his home for some de VS. past and
he probably wanted a fire to toast his
sinful shins by. The fire depart
ment turned out in force and
started for the fire with both hose carts
and the hook and ladder truck, but it
was decided after the hose carts had
been dragged about half way to the
scene hat they would be OF no use, and
the whole crowd laid hold of the hook
and ladder wagon and dragged it
against the gale clear to the fire, Bot
the building burned like finder and was
a pile OF ashes before the crowd had all
arrived. The house was probably
worth $500, aud will be q total loss.
The residents OF the immediate neigh
borhood were greatly alarmed at first
for fear tie Fragments of burning lum-
Der which blew around on the w.lRs OF |
the wind would spread the conhagration,
and had the wind been blowing. direc.ly
from the north Judge Trlpp's residence
barn would have been in great dam
ger. The fire brands, however, were
blown out over o vacant lot between the
Colby and Trip buildings, and the
sparks falling on the snow were quickly
ex%tinguished.
ANOTHER ALARM.
When the returning firsmen end the
attendant procession had reached the
Rhine, coming in from the Hail fire, q
second alarm was sounded vigorously
from tue truck house and the streets
were Immediately thronRed with exclted
people running in all directions in
searchrof the second blaze. This alarm
was occasioned by a burning chimney
on Mrs. John Whites home, on the
corner OF Third and Pine streets. "A
pail or two of water smothered this OUT
break before the fire department had
reached the scene.

ton, who upon investigation discovered
the fraud. Muller went from Yankton
into the country to work but left the
place where he worked about six weeks
ago. The officers are confident that he
will yet be brought to time.
It will probably be q surprise to our
Yankton readers to learn that yesterday,
mild and balmy and peaceable here, was
9 day Of furious blizzard experiences
throughout central Dakota. The gale
which struck this section early last
evening, and changed the moist land
scape into q continuous sheet OF ice,
was made up of the fragments OF a
northward storm which scattered snow
and desolation along the Huron and
Pierre line of the Northwestern and the
valley roads northward from
Mitchell as far as heard from. Four
trains headed for Pierre were buried in
at Rec Heights and there they re-
naln. The train from Cakes to Huron,
on the valley division of the Northwest
ern. WAS showed in nea Worthwhile. All
roads into Aberdeen were blockaded.
Worthwhile reports the worst storm of the
season. Here at Yankton we had q hard
and cold blow during the night, with no
and there is no interruption to
travel. All roads into this city are open.
AT Sioux Oily oil trains arrived on time
except the st. Paul train, which is aban-
doned somewhere up the road.

one of the largest and most interesting
meetings ever held by the nations gall
liant defenders in the great war for the
union. All over the northwest, "the
boys" are making preparations to go.
and have pretty unanimously concluded
that 1.-THE Burlington" is the route for
all old soldiers from Minnesota and
Dakota, and Wisconsin, Iowa and
Northern Illinois. 1t has some adyanta-
ges peculiar to itself, among which
are that it is the only line from Mime
apolis and st. Paul running directly
over its own road into st. Louis; that
it runs for more than 500 miles along
the east bank of the Mississippi, afford
ing numerous views of some of the
most delightful scenery in America; that
it is the only line running dining cars
from Minneapolis and st. Paul to st.
Louis, on which meals are served in the
finest style known; that it runs on all
night trains the most elegant and COM
Portable of Pullman's celebrated sleep
ing cars; that it has the smoothest and
straightest track of any railroad running
southerly; and that it has the reputation
of treating its patrons so well, and look
ing so carefully after their comfort and
safety, that they always wish to 'come
again" A rate of one fare for the
round trip will be made from all stations
on "The Burlington. For any informa-
ton, tickets and sleeping car accom-
modations, apply to any agent Of the
The Burlington" Mr.. w. J. C. Ken
yon, General Passenger Agent of 1.-THE
Burlington" has prepared an elegant
pamphlet, which every old soldier should
have, entitled "tallen Heroes" which
he will send free of charge to all who
will write to him for it at st. Paul,
MINI. Send for it, and secure an ele-
giant G.. A. X. souvenir. 2Sw3
